Example Usage

import sondehub

def on_message(message):
    print(message)

test = sondehub.Stream(sondes=["R3320848"], on_message=on_message)
#test = sondehub.Stream(on_message=on_message)
while 1:
    pass

Advanced Usage

Manual usage of the Paho MQTT network loop can be obtained by using the loop, loop_forever, loop_start and loop_stop functions, taking care to ensure that the different types of network loop aren't mixed. See Paho documentation here.

test = sondehub.Stream(on_message=on_message, sondes=sondes, auto_start_loop=False)
test.loop_forever()
